 Knowing the characters from the last book, I admit I wasn't too excited going into this one. The ditzy, child-like mermaid as the main romantic lead? Not really my idea of a great time. Still, I was at least interested in how the group as a whole would progress, and I didn't mind spending more time with Sawyer, so I went ahead and dove in.

Overall, I liked this book for what it gave me. As a sequel it does exactly what it needs to—ramping up the drama and stakes from the first book, further fleshing out the world and characters, and pushing readers ahead to the finale—but it doesn't quite stick the landing as well as I might have hoped. Still, it successfully transformed what could have been an uncomfortable romance with a child-coded character into a sweet and enthusiastic culture-clash romance instead, which is a huge win in my book. Now all that's left is to dive into the finale with the werewolf and the immortal—I can't wait!
